There are talks of various measures being put in place to preserve the wondrous city, including limiting the number of tourists allowed. Millions visit this place every year, and I think they should, it's fabulous. I would more than likely be one of the many excluded from visiting a place like this, which may well become only accessible to those who have excessive amounts of money. That is not very fair, in my opinion. I love this city, it remains a favourite among the whole world for it's spectacle, colour, architecture, history and proximity to Giulia and her family (:P). I loved getting to wander around, following my guide Giulia. I did more than a bit of shopping there too (Murano glass cat figurines anyone?). Also, food. There is an insane amount of yummy food in Venice.
